The last 3 have been :russell::russell: and we still have one more.

Shoulda been 10 eps max. Might even have worked at 8

I mean I can see the Ant Farm to Nowhere episodes being mandatory. It was really the Flex episode that felt like a waste cause he didn’t do nothing but send them to Nowhere. I thought he was going to go in there with them cause he’s clearly the most powerful of the group

Just saw the Finale and it was ok, It definitely feels like they edited out key parts of the story to fit the 1 hour format.

Doom Patrol Season Finale Contains Most Meta Easter Egg Yet

In the season finale, "Ezekiel Patrol", after forcing Niles Caulder/The Chief (Timothy Dalton) to reveal the truth about his involvement in how the Doom Patrol got their powers, Mr. Nobody is left alone in the White Space. While he has technically "won", he's not exactly relishing his victory. Instead, he is dissatisfied and is seen getting drunk while sitting on the toilet and reading a magazine that is very much a playful jab at Forbes -- a magazine that early on didn't exactly give the series the best review. As he's reading, viewers get a solid look at the article: Steve Larson's Rocky Road to Recovery, a piece about Animal Vegetable Mineral Man.

However, if you read the actual text it turns out that article itself is the most meta thing the show has done thus far, with the writers directly addressing viewers and asking fans to renew their DCU membership. You can check out a screenshot of the article below, followed by a transcription of the text just in case it's a little hard to read.

That's all Steve Larson remembers about the fateful day he was shot. Better known as Animal Vegetable Mineral Man, Larson was on his way to testify in front of a grand jury when the attempted assassination took place. The assailant was a disciple of the very man Larson was going to give evidence against: Sturmbanhfuhrer Heinrich Von Fuchs.

Born in Sweden, New York, to unexceptional parents, Larson was destined to lead an unexceptional life of is [sic] own. If you have screen-capped this in order to read the text of this article, congratulations! We the writers of Doom Patrol have a super secret message just for you. And that message is this: Please, please, please, please renew your DCU membership. We'd really like to do another season of this foolishness. We get to say 'fukk' a lot. Anyway, thanks a bunch for watching. We should probably get back to writing this bogus article.

But Larson wanted more than what lay ahead of him on his path to mediocrity. Barely clinging to a telemarketing job at a temp agency ...

I see some people saying it dragged in the end but I just binged the last 5 episodes and it had me engaged to the end
